I was just wondering about everyone's else's opinion on the little beast. Personally i think its the best bike out there for a kid. I got mine when i was 6, within a week we had the gear plates out and i had taken the speed screw out. When i went to get it rebuilt we got a dg pipe, jets, pistons, and some other stuff and when the guy came back he said he had no clue how the bike was running becuase the carb was caked in mud which had shown my passion for mud[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. Those little things are tough too i think, i would go out and roll it on purpose and it wouldnt hurt me because it was so light and it also tought me how to bail and because of using the 80 and learing how to ride im a fresh in highschool and can ride better than alot of adults in my area who roll bigger better bike where i easily make it and i thank the 80 i had for that that i passed down to my neighbor. I was just wondering if others feel the same way about how great of bikes they are and how tough they are.

 

i can't say much about the LT because i've never rode one...but i've had the same experience on a mojave, most people seem to give up or be scared after 1 wreck...heck i've been off the machine in motion so many times i just get back up and chase after it (if my tether isnt' on)
